Abstract:
Business incubators (BI) have been in existence since 1950s, and they offer a range
of support services to nascent entrepreneurs. Many governments across the world
promote incubators as a policy tool for the promotion of entrepreneurship leading to
an increase in the number of incubators. As public funds are committed to support
incubators, it is important that their performance is assessed, and benchmarks
developed. This has been a challenge, given the differences in the objectives,
business models and outcomes of the incubators. The article reviews the scholarship
and practice of Business Incubation.
